'Part III – Fundamental Rights' is a charter of rights contained in the Constitution of India. It guarantees civil liberties such that all Indians can lead their lives in peace and harmony ascitizens of India. These include individual rights common to most liberal democracies, such asequality before law, freedom of speech and expression, and peaceful assembly, freedom to practice religion, and the right to constitutional remedies for the protection of civil rights by means of writs such as habeas corpus. Violation of these rights result in punishments as prescribed in the Indian Penal Code or other special laws, subject to discretion of the judiciary. The Fundamental Rights are defined as basic human freedoms which every Indian citizen has the right to enjoy for a proper and harmonious development of personality. These rights universally apply to all citizens, irrespective of race, place of birth, religion, caste, creed, colour or gender. Aliens (persons who are not citizens)are also considered in matters like equality before law. They are enforceable by the courts, subject to certain restrictions. The Rights have their origins in many sources, including England's Bill of Rights, the United States Bill of Rights and France's Declaration of the Rights of Man. The six fundamental rights recognised by the constitution are:[1] 1. Right to equality, including equality before law, prohibition of discrimination on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex or place of birth, and equality of opportunity in matters of employment, abolition of untouchability and abolition of titles. 2. Right to freedom which includes speech and expression, assembly, association or union or cooperatives, movement, residence, and right to practice any profession or occupation (some of these rights are subject to security of the State, friendly relations with foreign countries, public order, decency or morality), right to life and liberty, right to education, protection in respect to...

India has its own rich traditions and heritage. The unity in diversity is unique in our nation. Our first PM Jawaharlal Nehru considered our tricolour not as a flag but as a symbol of freedom to all people, which still continues. India is a country of love, care and affection. In today’s world of selfishness, we in India still respect our elders, care for our mates and traditional culture. India is diverse in languages, cultures, lifestyles, cuisines, climatic conditions, scenic beauty, architecture, traditions but still it is binded by unity. I have got tons of reasons to love my country, but the most important thing is I love my country and I need no reason for it.

...Proud to be an Indian
India, a country with a culture having more than ten thousand years has enriched the global scientific, educational, economic and cultural scenario significantly. That is the reason why mark Twain has stated “India is the cradle of the human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of legend and the great grandmother of tradition.” Being born in such a great country, you have millions of reasons to feel proud as an Indian. Some of them are :
1 .Indian culture is the best in the world
The very word culture started from the country India. When the people of today’s developed nations were wandering like nomadic, Indians built Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro, the first ever planned city of the world. India is the home to four major religions of the world. The first epic of the world was written in India. Sanskrit, according to a major group of linguistics is considered as the mother of all European languages. Forbes magazine has rated Sanskrit as the most suitable language for software applications.

Some of them are :
1. When the residents of today’s developed nations were living as nomadic forest dwellers, we the Indians, set up Harappa civilization, the first planned city of the world.
2. First university of the world was established in Nalanda (in Modern Bihar) in the year 700BC. More than 60 subjects were taught here to near about 10,500 students who came from different parts of the world.
3. We have never invaded any country in the entire history of 5000 years. Rather, Buddha and Gandhi taught the world the power of non-violence and truth. Recently, American president Barak Obama has openly admitted that Gandhi is an ideal for him.

...I am an Indian and what am I proud of? What if I were to list five points?
umm....,
*India's diversity in flora and fauna (just a while before it reads only flora)
*Cultural differences (toooooooo many really)
*Tourism spots??(I must have visited ,what, five or six of them?...the foreigners know them better!)
*Growing Economy (growing since God knows when?:S)
*Indian Cricket! (the real pride of the Indians)
Something we have been writing since decades in essays?
India is perhaps the world's largest developing country. I don't know when we shall be classified as a developed one. When one compares India to the United States of America or the United Kingdom or russia, it will always remain developing, I fear. It is because Indians that can make a difference are not in India. India is severely lacking in a strong backbone comprised of accomplised, educated and hard working citizens, who are now living abroad in one of those developed countries. I am aware that India has its own priced possessions (Reliance, Tata, Raymond, HCL, Maruti Udyog etc.). Even so, we are yet to walk away with a victory in the International RACE. The fact that India is a developing country does not lie in just that. We are recognised for being the world's largest population, behold, we even topped the list of countries with largest murder count this year and we are a hotspot for terrorist activities. With such drawbacks,...

...It’s hurtful, ignorant, and crude, but it’s not uncommon to hear young boys talk that way. Why does Rowdy use that language?
In Sherman Alexie’s novel, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian, Arnold’s best friend Rowdy calls him a “retarded fag” for transferring at the start of their freshman year of high school. Due to his background as a child, Rowdy uses cruel language and hurtful gestures anytime Arnold and Rowdy came face to face. In the chapter Revenge is my Middle Name; Arnold compares Rowdy to a snake, stating he is one of the “toughest kids on the rez… his heart is strong and mean like a snake, too” (15). His heart has calcified due to the physical abuse his father has endured on him and his mother. Rowdy calls his bruises and cuts “war paint” because it makes him look fierce (16). Arnold was the only good thing on the reservation that Rowdy had to look forward too so when Arnold decided to leave, it unleashed a new kind of relationship between the boys, one not so friendly. One example would be when Rearden played Wellpoint in the first basketball game of the season, Rowdy knocked Arnold out and gave him a concussion. Another instance would be in the chapter, “Rowdy Gives Me Advice about Love” when Rowdy replies to Arnold’s message, “Hey asshole, I’m sick of Indian guys who treat white women like bowling trophies” (115). He uses offensive language but shows that he still cares for his best friend by simply responding....

...environment of certain tribes. For example, many woodland Indians such as the ones on the Eastern Coast were more advanced as to making tools and trading with other local tribes. While other Native American groups stayed in a routine of making the same crops, and using the same weapons, others experimented with what they were given and used different techniques to aid in their success. S while these more advanced tribes far exceeded other tribes in those aspects of living they also had a more advanced system of government. With a better structure they were better able to assign different tasks and ultimately lead a tribe to a better lifestyle of living. When you bring that into perspective, the more advanced tribes were also less hostile and more inviting to new, outside ideas. For example, the Western Tainos tribe accepted Columbus and his men with open arms. While trading and sharing their skills with Columbus's men, they also gained knowledge and began learning a new language.
The advancement of Indian tribes compared to others could solely be represented by the way each tribe reacted to their environments. When a tribe learns better ways of doing a certain task they tend to prosper far better than rival or neighboring tribes.
When judging the advancements of Native Americans to others one might look into the perspective of the surrounding environment of certain tribes. For example, many woodland Indians such as...

...The Constitution of India has some distinct and unique features as compared to other constitutions to the world. As Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, the Chairman of the Drafting Committee puts it, the framers had tried to accumulate and accommodate the best features of other constitutions, keeping in view the peculiar problems and needs of our country.
The following are the salient features of the Constitution of India.
1. Longest written constitution
Indian Constitution can be called the largest written constitution in the world because of its contents. In its original form, it consisted of 395 Articles and 8 Schedules to which additions have been made through subsequent amendments. At present it contains 395 Articles and 12 Schedules, and more than 80 amendments. There are various factors responsible for the long size of the constitution. One major factors was that the framers of the constitution borrowed provisions form several sources and several other constitutions of the world.
They have followed and reproduced the Government of India Act 1935 in providing matters of administrative detail. Secondly, it was necessary to make provisions for peculiar problems of India like scheduled castes, Scheduled Tribes and backward regions. Thirdly, provisions were made for elaborate centre-state relations in all aspects of their administrative and other activities. Fourthly, the size of the constitution became bulky, as provisions regarding the...
